Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has hinted that winning the AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire will put an icing on the cake for him.

Recall that last season, Osimhen won the Serie A title with Napoli and finished 2023 as the CAF African Footballer of the Year.

The 25-year-old also finished eighth in the Ballon d’Or rankings in the year 2023.

However, Osimhen feels lifting the Cup of Nations with Nigeria will speak volume for him and teammates in the Super Eagles.

Ahead of Nigeria’s second group match at the ongoing AFCON, Osimhen admitted that winning the trophy “would be one of the best moments” of his life.

“I have done that with Napoli; I have made history, but no matter what I do, no matter how many goals I have scored, to be able to win the AFCON, I would go a long way in my life but probably when I do that, I am done,” he admitted.
